rm on NT does not resolve wildcards for absolute paths with backslashes

For example, make a directory C:\test and touch a file in it test.txt

Now, cd to C:\ and...

rm C:\test\test*.* will not find the file, nor will
rm C:\\test\\test*.*

but

rm C:/test/test*.* will.

Perhaps this is beyond the scope of these tools since they are more
unix-focused.
